Got a new kitchen toy! And Twice Fried Chicken Wings

It all started with the Fried Zucchini... While it cooked up fine in my cast iron skillet I couldn't help but think a little deep fryer would work better... And I got to thinking about how I don't buy wings anymore because the price is just crazy... Then QVC put a little 1 quart personal fryer on clearance for $20 HERE and it came with fondue forks-how retro cool is that!!! So yes, while I kicked it around for a few days (not fond of shipping charges) I did decide to pick up the fryer, and I'm glad I did:@) My first munchie using it-Twice Fried Wings. I didn't know you could make amazing wings at home folks!

I fried them in vegetable oil and used Frank's Hot Sauce.
The key is a low simmer to cook the meat and then a deep sizzle to crisp up the skin-really good!

Here are a few of QVC's pics of my fryer, it's a great size for one person, 5-6 monster wings fit with no problem.

Twice Fried Hot Wings-from SeriousEats

1. Pat wings/drumettes dry.
2. Add wings and oil to cold fryer, turn to 225-250 degrees, chicken should be gently bubbling away.
3. Cook until chicken is cooked through, skin will be soft but not brown, about 20 minutes.
4. Remove from oil, place on paper towel lined tray/plate. Let cool for about 1 hour. (You can make quite a few and freeze them at this point, then just re-fry them when ready later).
5. Mix hot sauce and butter in small sauce pan, cook on low until butter has melted. Transfer to a big bowl.
6. Heat fryer to 375-400 degrees. Add chicken and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes.
7. Remove chicken from fryer and add to bowl, toss to coat wings.
8. Serve with celery and blue cheese dressing.

Put on the stretchy pants, grab some napkins and have a happy day:@)
